Alarming prophecies.

Prophecies always seem to be alarming and dark. Why? Because people ignore Pollyannaish predictions. Besides, disasters always seem to be just around the corner.

Ever since Obama became President, the world is sliding from one disaster to another. Obama believes, as other ultra leftists believe, that the cause of problems in the world is the US. Hence, he wants us to withdraw from the world. He even wants to destroy our capability to exert leadership. How is this working out? Not well.

There are prophecies hat relate to this. If you plug in the word PROPHECIES or prophets or anything similar, you get a whole slew. Obviously, they can't all be right.

We might start with Larry Edelson. Larry is known for his cycle theories that are often right. When he is not, he will tell you that cycles can invert, stretch or shrink. Larry's cycle theory predicts an upsurge of war and violence, a new commodities boom, a collapse of Europe and the EU and a bull market in the US Dollar and Stock Market. He anticipates the next 4 years to be a "roller coaster ride through Hell." To me that means the election of Hillary.

How could that happen? Simple. Donald Trump gets nominated and the Republican Establishment starts a third party to insure Trump's defeat.

Then there are more extreme prophets. One such is "Baba Vanga," born Vangelia Pandora Dimitrova of Macedonia. She was blind and died in 1996. Her accuracy rate is said to be 85%. Baba Vanga predicted that the US would have a black President and that he would be  the last President of the United States. According to Vanga, European countries would cease to exist starting this year and Europe would become virtually depopulated before falling under Muslim rule. Then there is Elder Paisios, who appears to be a Greek Orthodox priest. His prediction is that Russia will destroy Turkey and the Greek army will march on Constantinople. A third of Turks would convert to Christianity, a third would be destroyed and the rest would be dispersed. Turkey itself would be divided.

Baba Vanga is mentioned as the "Nostradamus" of the Balkans, which of course means that her utterances are couched in uncertainties. My favorite Vanga prophecy is that aliens would contact Earth people through Hungarians.
